Face Coverings
From 24th September, in line with government guidance, we require all customers visiting our showroom to wear a face covering unless there is a medical reason not to. If you haven't got one with you, our Associates, who will also be wearing face coverings, will provide one for you.
At Evans Halshaw we want to assure you that every precaution is being taken to ensure the health and safety of our customer and associates during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here you'll find a wealth of information around the extra measures we're taking to help keep everyone safe.
Showroom Environment Safety
We're open for both sales and servicing.
We're encouraging appointment slots at all times to help eliminate any queuing and respectfully ask all our customers to only bring someone else with them into our showrooms if it's absolutely necessary. Car parking spaces will be available at the closest point to the main entrance wherever possible to limit movement across the dealership grounds.
One of our associates will be available to greet you at a safe distance upon entry to the dealership and they will be responsible for monitoring the showroom capacity to ensure visitors can remain at 2 metres apart, so pre appointments are essential to helping us keep everyone safe. It is important to please wait for the store host to greet you before browsing our used vehicle forecourts.
When You Arrive
Regrettably our refreshment areas will remain closed for the time being, to reduce touchpoints in store and we'll be operating a one at a time approach to the use of customer restrooms. Whilst a lot of our services can be arranged via phone and email, if you're anticipating to spend a while in our showroom, we'd encourage you to bring your own bottled drink or flask and pen for any required document signatory.
Hand sanitiser will be available and clearly visible in designated areas throughout our dealerships
Our Associates
As body temperature is a known indicator of Covid-19 symptoms, we'll be carrying out daily digital temperature readings for all our dealership-based associates, at the beginning of each day. Anyone testing 38 degrees or higher will be sent home immediately and referred to the NHS helpline for advice.
Disposable gloves and car seat covers will be made available all our associates and changed regularly, along with additional hand washing and hand sanitiser- their well- being and safety is of paramount importance to us.
Sanitisation
To limit any bacterial transfer in the handling of vehicle keys a drop off box at reception will be available. All keys will be safely monitored and fully sanitised before returning via sanitised handover trays along with any vehicle documentation you need for your vehicle.
When it comes to the care of your vehicle itself, additional cleaning measures will be carried out in addition to our standard vehicle cleaning procedures, as outlined below.

Car Exterior Sanitisation Points

- Luggage compartment handles

Additional Treatments
Subject to availability, additional anti-bacterial treatments are available and can be applied through your vehicle's interior for a small charge. Please ask at time of booking your appointment.
